GameSpot rated it a 7/10 and praises the game for its humor and rewarding combat system: 'By shifting the tone from serious to crazy and making the combat system rewarding for the most dedicated players, this is a beat-'em-up that fits alongside modern games'. If youРІР‚в„ўre not as familiar with the РІР‚в„ў80s, lack a sense of humor, and have difficulty appreciating classic gameplay, then Double Dragon: Neon may give you some trouble'. Electronic Gaming Monthly rated the game a 90/100, commenting: 'If you grew up with the genre or the franchise, then thisРІР‚в„ўll hit every sweet spot in your gaming core.

Reception Р”Вouble Dragon Neon received mixed reviews. Skullmaggedon along with the Double Dragon Neon incarnations of Billy, Jimmy and Marion would later cameo as shopkeepers for WayForward's River City Girls (a spin-off game based on the Kunio-kun property by Technos Japan).Р”Р„ port for Nintendo Switch was released on December 21, 2020. Ported by Abstraction Games, the port features online multiplayer. The game has been released for Microsoft Windows on February 6, 2014. This is also the first commercially released Double Dragon game to use 3D graphics rendered with polygon-based models. The game's dialogue and graphical style is heavily 80s-inspired, and features a soundtrack composed by Jake Kaufman, inspired by the original Double Dragon as well as 80's pop music and arcade game soundtracks. Р”Вouble Dragon Neon was released in North America on September 11, 2012, in Europe on September 20, and in Japan on Decemon PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network, and worldwide on September 12 on Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade, to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the series.

Yoshihisa Kishimoto, designer of the original two Double Dragon arcade games, served as a consultant during the development of Neon, offering feedback on character designs and gameplay elements. When one player is completely out of lives, he can steal one from the other player if he has at least two left. If one player is defeated in battle, the other player has a limited time to revive him before a life is deducted (unless both players are defeated together). In a two-player game, both Billy and Jimmy can utilize a special 'high-five' technique to split and share their life meters to an equal amount, 'psych' the other one out to harm them or make them fall over, or to instantly trigger a Gleam effect. Each tape's maximum capacity can be increased further by visiting a 'Tapesmith' and paying him Mythril, which is obtained from defeated bosses. By collecting multiple copies of a tape, its effect gradually increases until it reaches a maximum capacity. Two different tapes can be equipped at once: one to grant the brothers a powerful attack that consumes a separate energy meter, and one to alter their statistics and grant special effects (such as making it easier to stun enemies or healing HP with every connecting blow). The player can collect life-replenishing sodas, money to buy items from shops, and special mixtapes that can be equipped from a pause menu. If the player times their evasion right so as to perfectly dodge an enemy attack, they will 'Gleam' by briefly glowing red, during which time their attacks will be more powerful.

In addition to the standard punch, kick, and jump buttons and a designated run button, the player now has an evade button for dodging attacks. The journey starts on the city streets and progresses through an outer-space dojo, Asian countryside, a genetics lab, and a graveyard before concluding at Skullmageddon's palace. As with previous installments of the series, the player takes control of martial artists Billy Lee (Player 1) and Jimmy Lee (Player 2) in their fight to rescue Marian from the Shadow Warriors gang, this time led by the super- lich Skullmageddon.
